Introduction
The cooling tower is a vital component of a continuous distillation process, operating year-round. When the water turned reddish, it raised serious concerns about corrosion, scaling, and potential system damage.
However, a complete water replacement was impractical due to:
- High costs
- Effluent disposal challenges
- Inability to shut down operations
The company sought a solution that could work in-line, without interrupting production.
Background
The reddish discoloration indicated severe corrosion and scaling, which posed:
- Water Quality Risks – Degraded system efficiency and potential damage.
- Operational Constraints – The system had to keep running, ruling out water replacement.
- Cost & Environmental Concerns – Replacing water would lead to high costs & effluent disposal challenges.
Challenges Faced
- Water Quality Deterioration – Corrosion and scaling affecting system performance.
- Continuous Operation – Water replacement wasn’t an option due to production demands.
- Cost & Effluent Issues – Disposing of large volumes of water was expensive and complex.
The Eximious Solution
Eximious implemented a targeted, in-line approach, restoring water quality without disrupting operations:
- Online Descaling – Cleaned the system without stopping operations, removing existing scale and corrosion.
- Advanced Filtration (System Opticare) – Captured suspended particles and impurities, ensuring cleaner water circulation.
- Precision Chemical Dosing (All Rounder 108) – A single, multi-functional chemical that:
- Prevents Scaling – Stops new scale formation.
- Controls Corrosion – Inhibits further corrosion damage.
- Prevents Deposits – Keeps pipelines & equipment clear of solid deposits.
Results & Benefits
- Water Clarity Restored – The reddish tint disappeared, improving water quality.
- Enhanced System Efficiency – Existing scales & corrosion removed, boosting performance.
- Sustained Protection – Long-term prevention of scaling & corrosion.
- Cost Savings – Eliminated the need for water replacement, reducing operational & effluent disposal costs.
Conclusion
Eximious’s comprehensive, in-line water treatment approach effectively restored cooling tower water quality, ensuring:
- Continuous operation without shutdowns.
